I'm asking for prayer

Hi friends! I’m asking for prayer.  It is powerful and effective. That’s the short version. If you like to be prophetic and don’t want too much info you can stop here. The shortest form of the story is that I have been diagnosed with a serious disease, it has affected my life significantly and I am asking you to pray for a miracle healing, “a creative miracle in my DNA” as heard, written and spoken by people who didn’t know who the word was for and received and incubated by me.  That’s the second shortest version and you can stop there too if this is too long/can’t read and that’s enough to go on or if you’d prefer positive vision skip to the “GOOD NEWS!” part below. 

I’m very encouraged and believe I’m receiving a miracle that I’d like to you help me with and participate in so please send your faith, prayers, positive energy, and quantum healing my way; and leave out any worry like Jesus said. J

The story; for those interested:

I was diagnosed with PNH, a rare blood disease, in November of 2015.  I had probably had this for 15 years at that point, but had adapted though getting worse. I was admitted to the ER with hemoglobin of 4.5. It’s supposed to be between 11-18.  PNH is an acquired genetic mutation, not hereditary, that causes the stem cells to produce blood cells without a specific protein marker on them that the complement system (a very precise subset of the immune system) destroys. 

Initially, I went on the "perfect" diet (no wheat, dairy, sugar, processed foods) and consulted an acupuncturist and a homeopath/bio-energetic specialist. I was tackling it on the physical/biological level, even though I knew I needed to address the spiritual, emotional and mental aspects as well. I was working at the time and would get up, get ready for work, go to the grocery store after work, cook dinner and be tired. The day-to-day symptom that is most common is extreme fatigue. I was too fatigued to address the full-spectrum healing that I needed.  I resigned from a position I enjoyed in January 2017 to focus on the underlying aspects, which was a huge step for me in realizing that I was “worth” it, and loving myself enough to care for myself.

After 3 years of resisting treatment and exploring many less toxic paths to wholeness, I found myself in the hospital about a year ago (July 2018) with blood clots and severe stomach pain and dehyrdration- a complication that accompanies the dx.  The blood clot part of the thing I’ve been diagnosed with is what usually gets people, and I figured my life had gotten so small and painful that I would go ahead with treatment, since everything I had tried didn’t work and the stomach pain and blood clots were no fun.  Ironically, this was another big step in loving myself. (See my post "The Dream")

I never considered that the treatment wouldn’t work. However….

Treatment didn’t work either, as far as not hemolyzing blood cells.  In fact, the frequency of blood and platelet transfusions increased significantly after treatment.  As in: hemoglobin every 2 weeks, and weekly platelet transfusions as the count gets down to 0 (zero). Whenever they are below 10 I get a transfusion. However, I haven’t had any blood clots for a year, and that is a plus from the treatment.  This frequency of transfusions cannot be a long term thing, and they don’t let kids with low platelets play on the playground.

My hematologist referred me to a specialist in Seattle (I went in March 2019) and recently they informed me they want me to have a bone marrow transplant. This is the only cure for PNH. It is also quite a drastic deal. Not guaranteed at all, and “Graft vs. Host disease” which sometimes occurs, can be worse than PNH. This would mean staying in Seattle with a caregiver for around six months. The Seattle Center wanted me to go for a transplant consult on Aug 15 but due to Rick’s knee replacement and me being his caregiver, and him wanting to go with me, I bought myself some time and now have an appointment for September 23.

The GOOD NEWS:

I believe that I’m receiving a miracle. I’m really encouraged by God’s presence, promises and the fun and genius way that Holy Spirit communicates with me. In fact, Holy Spirit wanted you to be in on it, and prompted me to write this and kept prompting me (this isn’t normally my “thing”, it's a bit scary for me honestly), asking for you to synergize your faith and release the spirit within you with your multifaceted gifts, revelation and love and that you receive encouragement from having your prayers answered. 

Good vibes please!  I’m not in pain and am enjoying the summer, my sweet husband, dog, friends, garden, Jesus, travels, and the beauty of creation. Visualize me vibrant and joyful, grateful for receiving this miracle.

Key words to declare and picture:

Life! Light! Love! Transformation! All things are possible!

Dunimas power in my DNA

Restoration, Restitution, Revelation

Healing, wholeness, Shalom: spirit, soul and body

A creative miracle in my DNA

Love (again) <3 o:p="">

And of course how Holy Spirit shows you!

Any thing you get, please pass on if it is encouraging or helpful.  I appreciate input too as you are part of my journey and testimony.  I have been doing spirit/soul/body work including forgiveness, inner healing, meditation, communion, intermittent fasting, Courts of Heaven, journaling, detox, counseling, etc. The journey really has been a beautiful adventure of realizing God’s love for me and learning to receive it and give it to myself. 

Though I have learned many things and there are all kinds of techniques, podcasts, strategies, diets, supplements, prayers, etc., a wise prayer counselor asked me to ask Jesus, “What’s my part in all this?” and the answer I got back was “Love yourself.” In the past, I had been really hard on myself and at times would agree with the accuser instead of my Creator. So, love, that’s been key for me: a lot less judgment and a lot more peace. This is significant as it sets free from doing things "right": Eating just right, praying just right, thinking just right, breathing just right, using the right words, etc., and puts the focus on the goodness of Father and his love, leading and mercy.  Not that other things can't be utilized, but I'm learning (again) to seek first the kingdom. Where the love of the King reigns. 

This has also been frustrating and humbling at times, because even though I "get" that Jesus heals and God is good and it's all throughout the scriptures, and my journals are filled with encouraging words of hope and life, and I'm listening to Bill Johnson and Justin Abraham and my spirit is encouraged and smiling... I am experiencing low blood counts and that translates to me as something I'm still not getting. (So please pray for that too. Full spectrum healing.)

I have been super encouraged by a verse that my pastor Jen gave me at the beginning of the journey: Romans 8:11 “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who lives in you.”

That’s resurrection power.  All things are possible power.

I heard God randomly say to me once early in the journey, on the highway between CDA and Post Falls: “You will be healed, and you will have a platform to help others.”

A couple of years later at Bethel, (Jan 2018) I received a word from Tom in the bookstore through his friend who was passing out papers at a class who passed it on to the class leader, Julie: “Someone here needs a creative miracle in the DNA.” I shot up, tears streaming down my face, and received prayer. The gal passing out the papers was so excited, she took us to the bookstore to meet Tom, who was a bit confused because when he received the word, he figured it was for Down’s Syndrome or something.  Bethel Bookstore is in my phone and I often visualize calling, asking for Tom and telling him the great news. This word is a confirmation of what I had already received personally.  I’m asking you to come into agreement with the specific word that was received by Tom, written down and handed to the girl and spoken out and received by me: “A creative miracle in the DNA.”

Another cool thing: When I was at Bethel, receiving prayer from people who asked what I needed (unlike Tom, they DID know): this student asked: Do you climb mountains? I see you climbing mountains.” I told her that I used to, and she said I would again. Less than a month ago, I hiked a 3.2 mile up 2200 feet climb (challenging), 10,350 elevation at the top to the Eagle’s Nest on Vail Mountain. (I got to take the gondola down!)  I was super encouraged, but had completely forgotten about the girl at Bethel who saw this while praying for me. I remembered a week later. Which is another huge encouragement and prophecy fulfilled. I wasn’t planning on hiking at all; in fact, I didn’t even bring tennis shoes to Vail, that’s how far off the radar it was for me. 

Of course there are what seems to be a gazillion revelations and God-kisses day to day (I’m super blissed by the Mirror Translation of the Bible), but the point here is that I have an expectancy of seeing more and more of God’s goodness in the land of the living and fully manifesting in my body the promise I was given.  This would initially be measured by an increase in my hemoglobin and platelets and confirmed by the gold-standard flow cytometry test.

More good news: This has happened before! There are many cases (up to15%) of PNH going into spontaneous remission. All things are possible!

Thank you for being part of my story. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you, thank you, thank you and be blessed abundantly.  

Love, Sonja
